portland weekend

John’s birthday was Sunday and we got to spend most of the weekend in Portland. He had a conference for work there and Ruby and I went up with him and spent the night. It was perfect timing. We got to go out to eat at great restaurants on his birthday – quite a treat when we live in a small town!

When John was working, Ruby and I spent most of our time at coffee shops and Powell’s. I planned on taking her to OMSI, but she took her time snacking and napping and we couldn’t quite time it right. Fine by me. I enjoyed sitting around in coffee shops with her and Coco (her bunny).

sounds like you had a great weekend. that croissant looks almost bigger than Ruby…well, bigger than her cute little friend. i love it how children make toys and even common objects come alive by talking to them and treating them like people.
have another great day!

Hello!
What hotel? What eateries? I am nosy and love Portland weekends, so I need to know. Sunday is David’s birthday, I am putting him in the car early Sunday morning and driving him to Portland for his favorite breakfast destination, Mother’s. SSHH it’s a surprise.

Oh yes, I should have written all that too. We stayed at the Double Tree at the Lloyd Center. That’s where John’s conference was. We went to Crema – So good! That’s where Ruby had the croissant. We also went to Urban Grind for snacks, but I didn’t like that place very much. We ate at the Cup and Saucer on Hawthorne and at Laurelwood where Ruby had the mac and cheese. I keep hearing about Mother’s. We’ll have to go there next time.
